Creator of the momentous Bosset movement "LoLa" instills empowerment and inspiration into her rapidly growing fan base through her movement. 'To be a Bosset is beyond the material facades. Its about standing for something as a women, being in control of you and everything you allow to come into your life.

(4) Tracks From "Oakland" Rapper "D-Lo" "Got Her Tho" Mix Tape

Twitter: @MRNOHOE

"Rappin' wasn't my first dream," admits "D-Lo" (D'Angelo Porter). "It was pro basketball. I always had good grades because of basketball." Yet fate had other plans for the man known as "D-Lo". A dabbler in rap who'd only made a few tracks, "D-Lo" went into his friend's studio alone one night in February 2007, determined "to find his swag" on the mic. He made a stomping, minimalist beat — his first — on Fruity Loops, over which he discovered his style: a hyperactive staccato with a slight rasp, a little like Keak Da Sneak in a higher register. The song, "No Hoe," undeniably slapped, prompting "D-Lo" and his brother, Sleepy D, also new to rap, to burn CD singles and hand them out at BART stations, schools, and so on. Two months later, "D-Lo" began serving a year in the county jail for attempted robbery, ending his hoop dreams. Yet Sleepy continued pushing "No Hoe" in the Oakland streets and on MySpace, and the song went viral. On the evening of his release in 2008, "D-Lo" performed his first show, in Richmond. "I wasn't nervous," he says. "I wanted to see if people knew the song. As soon as I come on, everybody went crazy." Throughout 2008, "D-Lo" kept pushing the song, which soon found its way into the clubs. A low-budget video on YouTube kept the buzz alive; meanwhile "D-Lo" hooked up with Clear Label/PTB, the label responsible for Beeda Weeda's success. Before long, KMEL was getting tons of requests for a song it couldn't play on the radio. But "D-Lo" managed to make an acceptably "clean" version for airplay. He also put together a high-profile remix featuring Beeda, E-40, and the Jacka. More crucially, to prove he wasn't a fluke, he released a new, broadcast-friendly single, "You Played Me," with a hook sung by Rico the Kid. "D-Lo's" MySpace page tells the story: "No Hoe" earned an impressive 900,000 hits over the past two years, but "You Played Me" garnered 1.1 million in a matter of months. While "You Played Me" is slated for "D-Lo's" upcoming SMC debut, Undeniable Talent, the original and remix of "No Hoe" are available now on his "pre-album," The Tonite Show with D-Lo (Clear Label/PTB), among the best so far in the DJ Fresh-produced series. With his grassroots rise and radio-readiness, "D-Lo" has attracted the attention of companies like Interscope and Def Jam. Perhaps he could be the new Bay rapper who finally breaks through to major label glory — a prospect he greets with both impatience and resolve. "The shit be slow," he says of major label talks. "But I wouldn't be as popular as I am for nothing, so I keep pushin'." (http://www.sfbg.com/2009/11/04/d-lo)

Ft. J-Dubb - "I'm From" "Thoughts" "Sand Castles""Change"

Twitter: @StevieJoe800

Steve Joel Moffett Jr., better known by his stage name "Stevie Joe" or "Thuggy Fresh", is an American rapper from Oakland. He is a member of the group Livewire and is signed to Town Thizzness and Thizz Nation, both subdivisions of the lateMac Dre's Thizz Entertainment. "Thuggy Fresh" has been featured on many Bay Area hip hop albums, most notably E-40's 2011 album "Revenue Retrievin': Graveyard Shift", on a song called "Don't Try This at Home", with frequent collaborator Philthy Rich, also from Oakland. He also appears in the soundtrack to the 2008 film "Ghostride the Whip".

Throughout his journey Stevie Joe has opened up for Akon, Weebie, Slim Thug, Yong Droe, BG, E-40, Too Short, and The Mob Figaz. He's traveled all over the United States to places like Nebraska, Georgia, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico and of course California.

In 2007, with help from his longtime friend and business partner "Dolla Bo", "Stevie Joe", released his first mix tape, entitled "Block Statue". "It was received with critical acclaim and helped "Stevie Joe" to be discovered in 2008, on the East Oakland streets at 80th & Holly St., by "Dame Fame" President and CEO Management Group, who took him under their wing, and helped him to do his thing.

In January of 2008, right at things were beginning to really crack, "Stevie Joe", was dealt a hard blow. His biggest fan and fiance, of 10 years, passed away from a blood disease. Devastated, he stayed committed to his 6 year old daughter, Shani, and his career, which he dedicates to the memory and life of his almost wife.

"Stevie Joe" release "Thuggy Fresh" and "Block Statue 2" before signing with the Bay Area underground powerhouse label "Live Wire Records", which is the home to label mates "J. Stalin", "Philthy Rich", "Shady Nate", "Lil Rue" & "Lil Blood".With drop'n over 45 videos and hits like"SWAG IT AND BAG IT", "OXYCONTIN OC-80","TOWN BIZZ ALL STARS 2", "COKE", "7 GRAMS" & "Thuggy Fresh" in just 4 short years, helped to propel him from an unknown to a local celebrity.

When he released his debut album, "80's Baby", it released at #1, in it's first week on Rasputin's top 25 list.

Still making his mark on the Bay scene, "Stevie Joe", is fa sho doing his thing. With a balance of great talent and great work, "Stevie Joe" is helping to make the Bay twerk.

"Kool John" is what is coined, out here, as "NewBay", but to me, its "ALL BAY", out this way. Old or new, we make it do, what it do.

Richmond, Ca, is where he reps where he steps. With a love for music since he was born, it was only natural for "Kool John" to become a rapper. As far back as he could remember, even before he could read, he would always ask his mom to buy him rap magazines, which he would look at and soon read from front to back.

With a life long passion for music, "Kool John" finally began rapping in the 7th grade. He made a mix cd called "Club Mix", which he sold and gave him his first taste of making money with music.

He began recording music with his label mate and patna "Loverance" in 2006 and hasn't looked back.

With musical inspirations from his mom, the daily people he interacts with, as well as, Mac Dre, Will Smith, Baby from Cash Money, John Richard Bronson, Dame Dash, Master P, Daymond John, Diddy, and Jay Z, is what made "Kool Joohn", who he came to be.

In the industry to bring peace, love, and “SHMOP Life” (living everyday like its Saturday night), "Kool John", just wants to be happy with what makes him happy. "Kool John's" motto is to "Throw parties not fist". "Kool John" strives to bring positivity and originality and feels his "SHMOP Life" brand promotes a lifestyle of having a good time.

What sets "Kool John" apart, from not just "Bay Area" rappers, but a lot of rappers, in general, is that he doesn't rap about what he doesn't know or doesn't have. He keeps it real and raps about his life and what he feels. He's not fairytalistc or materialistic and one thing he does not do, is glorify violence in his music. "Kool John's" music is feel good music. It makes you want to dance, it makes you want to party. Coming with hard beats, different flows, a classic feeling, is what makes his music feel good music.

Through his music, "Kool John", tries to bring peace and ambition. He wants to set an example for black youth and black men that there's more to life then thug life, there's a good life and you should enjoy your life, while you're living it.

To me, "$homplife" is more than a movement its a way of life, its a lifestyle of “LIVING EVERYDAY LIKE A SATURDAY NIGHT.” Keep in true, with how he do, check out "$hmopfest", which is at a secret location where party animals come from all over the Bay and beyond for a GREAT, MEMORABLE, SPLENDID, POSITIVE time.

"Kool John" is more than a rapper, he's a father, designer and light weight gigger. Together with his "Shomplife" brand/clothing line and his crew, "HBK" Gang (Heart Break Kid), "Kool John" is making life go his way, in and out the "Bay."

I had the privilege to meet this brother and was instantly impressed with his hustle and demeanor. Once I had a chance to listen to his album, "If Eye Could Live Again", and read his bio, I got a whole new respect for "SQUALA ORPHAN""SQUALA ORPHAN" has already made a name for himself with hip-hop fans and industry insiders all over the globe. His work includes being Executive Producer of “SMILEY DA GHETTO CHILD’S” album titled “WAKE UP CALL”. This album consisted of renowned top-notch producers, including the legendary “DJ PREMIER”. The album which was distributed by underground hip-hop guru “FAT BEATS” was a success selling more than 5,000 units. Proving himself to be a true phenomenon in the business, "SQUALA ORPHAN" has also recorded with “GURU” of the well respected hip-hop group “GANG STARR” who helped pioneer the New York hip-hop sound. Among his many accomplishments, "SQUALA ORPHAN" joined forces with the All-American hardcore rap group “MASH OUT POSSE” also known as “M.O.P” on the “LINKIN PARK” tour titled “PROJEKT REVOLUTION” an annual music festival hosted by the 2 time Grammy Award Winning rock band themselves. "SQUALA ORPHAN" also teamed up with “M.O.P” on the “WEAPONS OF MIC DESTRUCTION” tour, an insane showcase of East Coast hip-hop legends. While on both tours, acquiring a devoted fan base, "SQUALA ORPHAN" independently, distributed over 10,000 promotional mix-tapes once again proving to be a colossal force in the hip-hop business.

On his forthcoming album titled “Unheard Cries” "SQUALA ORPHAN" who is an independent artist, displays for his listeners something new. “Fast Money” is the first single off of "SQUALA ORPHAN’S" debut album. This club banger, which features “RSONIST” of the mastermind, producer trio “THE HEATMAKERZ” strikes a chord with music fans of all genres. "SQUALA ORPHAN" also introduces his second single titled “Rain Drops” featuring “CLARISA ROSE” where he vocalizes a much more personal side. Produced by in-house producer “BIG FRANK” this heartfelt song depicts how "SQUALA ORPHAN" is able to show his diversity as a songwriter, while bringing a song directly to the hearts and souls of those who have supported his career the most, his fans.

ABOUT "SQUALA ORPHAN""SQUALA ORPHAN" began free-styling and writing music as therapy to the hardships of life at the tender age of 14. Growing up as an abandoned child in London, having been passed along to a wonderful woman by the name of “MRS. POVEY”, he recalls a life-altering moment while under her care."SQUALA ORPHAN" remembers watching the movie “OLIVER TWIST”, a story about an orphan who is soon kicked out of the orphanage and thrown into a terrible home. The bad treatment Oliver receives, forces him to run off to London. Although "SQUALA ORPHAN" was treated fairly under “MRS. POVEY’S” care, he could still relate to the tribulations “OLIVER TWIST” encountered. This movie encouraged "SQUALA ORPHAN" to get out on his own and pursue his dream as a lyricist as he knew he was lyrically gifted. He promised himself that he’d use his voice as an instrument of inspiration to other children born into his same predicament.Since then, "SQUALA ORPHAN" has proved to be a remarkable influence. Arriving in the United States, he instantly made an impression among the hip-hop and music elite. He was enlisted to promote THE BUSINESSMEN MIXTAPE SERIES with one of the hottest underground mix DJ’s, “DJ White Owl” at the celebrated notorious OZONE MAGAZINE 2008 AWARDS. Among others, "SQUALA ORPHAN" has been featured on the notorious HEAVY-HITTERS and DJ BIG MIKE mix-tapes. He played a monumental role with “DJ SMALLS” and “SMILEY DA GHETTO CHILD” at the SOUTHERN SMOKE TOUR, created to help independent artists like "SQUALA ORPHAN", gain brand exposure. "SQUALA ORPHAN"performed alongside hip-hop promotions giant, ALL BIZ- MICROPHONE BULLY in 2009in New York City. Inspired by his background as an orphan, and a true philanthropist at heart an admirable initiative was set in place by "SQUALA ORPHAN" when the non-profit organization BRONX DEFENDERS allowed him use of their space to facilitate a clothing drive. The drive proved to be fruitful, and effective as "SQUALA ORPHAN" was able to collect all types of apparel for children and adults in desperate need. He would personally visit many different homeless shelters to hand out the clothing to ensure those in need were warm and snug for the holiday season. Since, issues such as police brutality, racial profiling, and contagious shootings were central to his environment, "SQUALA ORPHAN" recorded a track titled “People vs. Precinct”. This warm, sincere track was dedicated to the 23-year old immigrant, Amadou Diallo, who was shot 41 times by NYPD officers and killed. Refusing to discontinue promoting his positive awareness "SQUALA ORPHAN" recorded a political track titled (Available on the “UNHEARD CRIES” album) “CHILDREN OF WAR” with MUMIA ABU JAMAL, the clever African-American who was an activist, cab driver and intellectual journalist convicted and sentenced to death for the 1981 murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner.

Don't judge the book by its cover, is the first thing I thought when I seen "Sevin", and I'm REALLY GLAD I didn't. What I like about "Sevin" is that he keeps it real for himself and God, he's not trying to be someone he's not, he's being who and how God created him to be."Sevin" is proof positive that you don't have to be in a 3 piece suit, with your click-clacks and hat, to bring the word of God to the track. "Sevin" touches the youth and the streets in a way that a suit and tie kind of guy, wouldn't even try. He meets people where they're at, and shows them where they can go and grow, through his testimony, his rhymes and his beats, "Sevin" gets sinners and saints out their seats, to worship and glorify the goodnes and mercy of God, and "Sevin's" ministry is real, not a facade. From reading his bio and listening to his lyrics of praise and worship, "Sevin" is one of the REALEST DUDES, I've never met, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to be introduced to his ministry and introduce his ministry to you.God made us all differentindividuals, but we all have the same mission statment, as believers, we are to go out to the streets and preach and teach the word of God. We all need to reach one and teach one in our own way with our own testimony, as long as it lines up with the word of God, and I'm glad there is a man like "Sevin" that can show the hood that serving the Lord is good. "Sevin" is also a GREATexample that God just wants you to come as you are, you can still be you, but a better, new improved you and worship God. Change comes from within, it's not about what you wear or how many tattoos you have, it's about the words coming out of your mouth and God's love in your heart!!!!

As a youngster they called him "Lucky Sevin" on the block in his Sacramento neighborhood. Now as a young man, "Sevin" has dropped the "Lucky" and picked up a microphone to become one of the most compelling and controversial rappers in the game today.Since emerging on the scene at age 17 with his debut release "ALL OR NONE", "Sevin" has evolved from the new kid on the West Coast block to the well-seasoned, lyrical giant that he is today. After the release of "ALL OR NONE", "Sevin" took a journey through the underground for 6 more independent releases. At age 24, "Sevin" returned from the underground with his 8th release and highly anticipated 2nd nationally distributed release entitled, "FATHER FORGIVE ME"."FATHER FORGIVE ME" is grim and graphic in nature, but nevertheless upholds a heavy evangelistic overtome. "Sevin" is already being ranked with the likes of rap greats such as "Scarface" and the legendary "2Pac"."Sevin" explains: “I had never really considered doing music professionally and when I first started rapping at age 16 I was horrible. Then I experienced a breakthrough and one day I could do it. I started devouring people lyrically with no practice. You know what I’m saying? Inspiration would just come to me and I would just eat fools up. Battling in schools, house parties, whatever.”

"Sevin's" knack for lyrical combat is a hallmark of "FATHER FORGIVE ME". “I believe this gift has saved my life because it gave me an opportunity that I didn't have before. I had no plans for college, no job, I was just on the turf all the time and without this gift I probably would have been involved in a lot of other things to make money, and none of them good.” "Sevin" says. "Sevin's" God brothers were the Kenoly Brothers, the sons of veteran Praise and Worship artist Ron Ron Kenoly. “It was the Kenoly Brothers who got me saved and helped me get my first Record deal. The day I got saved, God revealed to me what He wanted me to do with my life.” "Sevin" says. "Sevin's" parents were very religious when he was a young boy. He didn't grow up listening to rap music or R&B. He grew up in the church until he was about 12. That’s when things changed because his family didn’t have any money. “It wasn't like everybody was trying to rap in Sac when I was coming up. It wasn't really a feasible thing to do. There really isn’t anybody from Sacramento that has made it as a rapper.” "Sevin" said. But with the release of "FATHER FORGIVE ME" that changeed it once and for all.“You have your rappers who are really involved in the urban cimmunities and cultures and then you have cats who are just doing it because they think its going to make them look cool and make some money. Im still very involved in the streets except now its in a positive manner. I’ve been homeless, I’ve lived in cars and moved around and stuff and God would give me favor and get me through it. So I’ve got to give back. I have tats and a ponytail because I’m true to who I am and where I come from,” "Sevin" says. “Me as a Christian, I am the church and its my job to bring the church to the streets. A lot of people feel that you have to go to church and be saved… no. You can be saved and then go to church. So that’s why I stayin the streets. I’m out here and I bring it to where the people are at. I do my music so the people can feel it. I got into this game to bring these people to Jesus Christ. All my homies are hustlers and gang bangers and I’ll never forget where I came from. I did this album for me. All my other albums, I did for everybody else. I had some stuff I wanted to get off my chest. For so long I let other people tell me what to do with this gift that God gave me. People have tried to water me down artistically because I push the envelope as a Gospel rapper.” "Sevin" says. "Sevin" continues to push the envelope as an artist. Performing on “FATHER FORGIVE ME” are secular artists Cocaine (on “Black Woman” and “In Jesus Name”), and Bad Azz (on “Wasting Time”). In addition to producing many of the tunes on the project "Sevin" welcomed several guests producers to the project including: The Lab Rats, Greedy, Numbers and Christsyde Records Label mates ABG .“Father Forgive Me” is just me asking God to forgive me for being a pleaser of man rather than a pleaser of God. At the end of the day I’m just a young black man trying to be righteous in a wicked world. That’s what I rap about.”

Even though I'm a female and probably old enough to be "Taj-He-Spitz", mama (lol), I had to feature him in the "Spotlight", cuz the words he spitz is da sh*t!!!

I think this is the difference between fake rappers and real rappers. Real rappers talk about what they know on their pursuit to get dough.

"Taj-He-Spitz" resinated with me because his flow is true to life, and I could envision the struggle that these young dudes on the streets of the "Bay", and out your way go through. Trying to do right, but it goes wrong. Trying to keep it real to yourself and the streets, but wanting to change for your family's peace.

"Taj-He-Spitz" got that international flow. It's not just that "Bay Sound", he holds diversity and reality down. Spit'n like he's sh*t'n, "Taj-He-Spitz" is about to make the industry sit. Real lyrics, geniusmetapohrs and hotbeats is how "Taj-He-Spitz" is gonna make other rappers take a seat.

All I can say the production on "First 24" mixtape is better than some major label artist albums. Can't wait to see the industry relate. I'm not on his jock, cuz he knocks where I rock, "Fairfield-Ca (707)", but because he has his own sound and he's put'n it down.

"Taj-He-Spitz" also known as 'Taji", is a rapper from an area known as "Meadowlark" in the Northern California city of "Fairfield". He was born to his mother Rhonda and his father Ben in 1989. He started his rap carrer under the name "Phantom Flowz" at age 12. His real name is "Vincent Jajalle Champaco" his nationality is Chamorro (Guamanian) and Black. He is currently 22-23 years old.

"Taj-He-Spitz" had so much buzz around him in the Bay Area ‘07-08. It was thought that he was to be next big thing to come out of Northern Cali and the hype was definitely warranted. His flow and style are incomparable. His raps are fun and catchy but still extremely lyrical. He doesn’t just rhyme random words, he actually tells a story in a very unique way.

It was said that "Taj-He-Spitz" was going to be signed by E-40’s Sick Wid It Records and he had already been presented by B-Legit. All of that was put on hold when he was arrested in early 2008. The rumors about why he was arrested and how long he was going to be behind bars ranged wildly. One of the rumors was that he was sentenced to 50-Life for murder, but the claims were not true. "Taj-He-Spitz" was arrested for a allegedly being involved in a drug deal gone bad where someone was shot during the incident. He was sentenced to 7 years and was an inmate of the California Department of Corrections on 9/3/2009. He was released in July of 2012.

He's a young dude, with grown skillz, I just hope he gets back on track and puts Fairfield on the map!!!!

"Taj-he-Spitz" released one album “Live Fast Die Young - The Street Album” in 2009.

He has released numerous Mixtapes as follows:The GiftThe PremierMeal TicketMeal Ticket 2Meadowlark Captain50 to life

He also released two albums with the group Wizeguys with fellow members Blanco and Hyfe: "The Yayboyz Present: Wizeguys""Wizeguys Guerrilla Warfare"

"Taj-he-Spitz" has been featured on many songs of various "Bay Area" rappers. One of the most popular being “G.A.M.E” with B-Legit and Mac Dre.

So, I've been trying to figure out how to describe them, but seeing their musical influences of "The Geto Boyz", "N.W.A" & "Three Six Mafia", that pretty much sums it up.

Their music is a mix of many genres: gangsta rap, "feel good" music, dance, their own sound entitled "Space" music, and even R&B all mixed into one. Their rhymes are delivered with high confidence and a swaggea that is unlike anything you've ever heard.

Born & raised in East Oakland, CA, the "NhT Boyz" feel they are the last of a dying breed. Their music can be best described as lyrically aggressive & progressive with a carefree party element. The members consist of "Chip$ Black", "Knowledge" (aka Knawley Fit Game) and "NikAtine Da King".

Because every dude in the "Bay" is a rapper, you can't just come with a slapper. You have to have that something special, that "IT" factor, that makes you different and stand out from the rest. To me, what makes "NhT Boyz" different from the rest, cuz they rap from their chest. This aint no made up fairy-tale, wish I was a thug, type group. Its real talk off da block. But, at the same time, they're able to take you on a journey with their story-telling abilities, while giving you party tracks that slap. The "NhT Boyz" have created a signature sound that can't be denied or ignored and has captivated audiences nationwide.
